An erotically charged thriller with Irons and Binoche playing an insatiable couple. A good couple of actors and a good story. Irons is a married minister named Stephen who lives with his wife and young daughter. His oldest son Martyn is an up and coming journalist. One day, Stephen meets Anna at a party and sparks fly immediately. Without truly realising what they are doing, the pair embark on a dangerously sexual affair, which continues even when Martyn brings Anna to the family home some time later as his latest girlfriend. As with many affairs, the need for excitement and danger gets more and more intense, and before long tragedy strikes. I liked this, and always like the two lead stars in films, but it did feel rather as though we were watching two rather mismatched people having sex leading it to appear quite awkward in many scenes, despite the fact that their on screen chemistry is intense.
